Definitions
- the present invention relates to plastics ampoules, having snap-off heads, for pharmaceutical use, and especially to ampoules for liquids for injection into a patient.
- Ampoules are traditionally made of glass, and are widely adopted for sterile storage of liquids intended for pharmaceutical use.
- glass ampoules can be used for pharmaceutically active solutions for direct injection, as well as for water, saline solution or other liquids which are employed for preparing injections by reconstitution or dilution.
- a glass ampoule is opened by breaking off the head, leaving an exposed neck with a dangerous cutting edge. There is a high risk that the user, such as a nurse, might cut themselves on the exposed edge, generating a risk of cross-infection. Fragments of glass are also generated and increase this risk. In addition microfragments of glass may intermingle with the liquid in the ampoule, and can thereafter be injected into the patient.
- a first disposable needle with sheath is fitted on the luer head of a syringe, the sheath is temporarily removed, and the liquid in the ampoule is drawn up into the syringe to a required volume.
- the needle is normally resheathed and discarded, to be replaced by a second fresh needle of smaller diameter for the actual act of injection. This procedure inevitably includes the risk that the user will stick the needle into himself, further increasing the possibilities for cross-infection.
- Ampoules made of plastics material such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride are known, and are usually moulded, filled and sealed using machines manufactured and solid, for example, by Kocher Corp and Rommelag AG, as well as Weiler Engineering Inc.
- plastics ampoules are typically made by the blow-fill-seal method, a technique which blow-moulds the ampoule, and then fills and seals it in one continuous operation. This technique minimises the risk of contamination of the ampoule prior to use.
- the problem of touch-contamination is substantially overcome by the incorporation of a wide neck, leading to the female recess, in the design of the ampoule.
- the present invention provides a plastics ampoule having an opening comprising a dispensing neck, a removable head being located over the opening, characterised in that the opening further comprises a funnel leading to the neck.
- the funnel essentially serves to lead the male head of the syringe to engagement with the dispensing neck of the ampoule, optionally a female luer.
- the shape of the funnel is of little consequence, provided that the male head of the syringe is obliged to pass through the funnel before engaging the neck.
- the contours of the funnel will normally be rounded to avoid catching and for ease of moulding.
- the funnel in order to assist the engagement of syringe with neck, it is generally preferable that the funnel has a gradual transition from the wider opening to the narrower neck, rather than having an essentially tubular shape with the neck located in the base wall.
- the aperture, or target area, of the funnel suitably has an internal cross-sectional area which is at least 3 or 4 times the minimum internal cross-sectional area of the neck.
- the target area is preferably of circular or generally curved (including oval) shape.
- the quoted area ratio of 3:1 gives a diameter ratio of ⁇ 3:1.
- the diameter ratio is more usually >2:1, preferably >2.5..1.
- the diameter of the target aperture will preferably be from 8 to 16 mm, such as around 12 mm. With a neck diameter of 7 mm, the target area diameter is advantageously around 15 mm.
- the removable head of the ampoule is preferably a twist-off, or snap-off, head which can be gripped by a user.
- the portion to be gripped is preferably thin, in the form of a tab or other thin grip.
- the twist-off head suitably has a moulded surface to facilitate gripping, and preferably extends from a frangible break-line around the target area of the aperture.
- a twist-off head extends from the break-line to a thin grip, transforming from a circular cross-section to a generally rectangular cross-section through a tapering portion.
- a snap-off head the head extending from a thin break-line to an angled, rod-like grip, tapering from a wide circular cross-section to a narrower circular cross-section, solid or hollow, at an angle from the vertical. Pulling the rod-like grip towards the vertical exerts stress on the break-line under the grip, breaking off the head.
- Both of the above embodiments serve to further prevent touch contamination, as the region acted upon by the user to break the seal is remote from the break-line.
- the removable head is designed so as to enhance the sterility in use.
- the presence of the head over the target aperture maintains sterility of the internal surface of the aperture, transition zone and neck, until its removal.
- the head is preferably designed so that the user does not tend to finger the aperture.
- a flared twist-off head acts as a shield or guard, and the tapering portion minimizes the risk of introducing infection.
- the neck of the ampoule may be of any shape suitable for mating with the head of a syringe.
- a luer neck forms one preferred embodiment, a large proportion of syringes having luer heads.
- a neck wherein adjacent walls are parallel. Ampoules with such necks are easier to manufacture, allow easier mating with the syringe head, and are no less efficient than standardised necks.
- Other types of neck are also of use, and types of cone will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
- the ampoules of this invention are typically manufactured by the blow-fill-seal method, although any suitable method may be employed.
- Thermoformable plastics are preferred, especially polyethylene and polypropylene.
- the frangible membrane, or break-line, connecting the head to the opening may be formed by any means suitable. If the ampoule is formed by the blow-fill-seal method, the break-line is typically formed by the use of a cutter located about the 'blow nozzle'. A cutter external to the ampoule could also be used but tends to be less satisfactory. Other methods of weakening the break-line tend to be more expensive and no better, such as localised radiation.
- the neck preferably has one or more grooves or other form of channel which prevent a build-up of vacuum within the ampoule as liquid is drawn up into the syringe.
- the neck has two diametrically opposed channels.
- the neck is oval in shape, the wider diameter effectively providing the grooves.
- the dimensions of the ampoules are selected according to requirements. Typical volumes are 10-20ml but volumes ranging considerably beyond these are feasible.
- the overall proportions shown in the accompanying drawings form preferred embodiments, the measurements being substantially as shown.
- the plastics ampoule 10 of Figures 1 to 3 has a removable head 12 which removes to reveal a relatively wide aperture 14 leading to a female luer 16 via a transition 18.
- the relatively wide aperture acts as a docking target for capturing the male luer of a syringe, and funnelling the syringe male luer towards engagement with the ampoule female luer.
- the aperture 14 at the opened end of the ampoule is of circular cross-section, with an internal diameter of about 12 mm, while the luer has a minimum internal diameter of about 4 mm.
- the removable head 12 of the ampoule is a twist-off head which can be gripped by a user.
- the portion 20 to be gripped is relatively thin, and has a moulded surface to facilitate gripping. It extends from a frangible break line 22 around the target area of the aperture, and transforms through a tapering section to a generally rectangular, narrow cross-section.
- the female luer 16 has two diametrically opposed grooves 24.
- the head 12 can readily be snapped off from the ampoule to reveal the relatively large aperture for receiving the syringe and funnelling it into luer-to-luer engagement.
- the circular lead face of the head 12 acts as a shield to prevent contact with the aperture of the fingers gripping the thin part of the head.
- the two grooves 24 in the female luer serve to prevent a build up of vacuum within the ampoule as liquid is drawn up the syringe.
- the ampoule of Figures 4 - 6 corresponds to that of Figures 1-3 in essential detail.
- the neck 26 has parallel walls and is oval in cross-section.
- the diameters are 5 and 7mm, the larger effectively providing the equivalent of grooves 24 in Figures 1-3.
- wall 28 provides support means to strengthen the ampoule when the head is removed. Any other suitable strengthening means, if any is required, may be used, for examples, reinforced walls (ribbing or thickened walls).
